I hope PS4 get this 70% deal soon. It’s a good price. I personal downloaded the Trial some time ago and it’s a fun game I recommend it to anyone thinking about giving Dirt 2.0 ago. It’s actually fun and I found it great with a Controller as well as a wheel. I just want to try out the Rally X stuff for fun, those cars are so much joy to drive.

Edit: PSN AUS have it for $30.95 right now noice!

 

Paid $11.00 for two countries but can't use them due to 32gb update ahead in the patch queue.That will require a $50 data (40gb) recharge plus fuel enough for the generator to download,copy and install said patch.Cider while watching download.
To play a game I paid $100 for.

 

Something I posted a while back on Steam which is relevant to this:

In short, the entire game is required to be downloaded by all players, due to how the game is structured.

 

If anyone needs a hand with that here are my settings:

 

Why did I buy a disc then,Only to have to download a locked completed game.With data costs and dlc this game is over $300. @#&! That.

 

Sorry to say it, but modern gaming may not be for you. These days the disc basically serves as proof you legally own the game and little else.

 

You can still sell or trade a physical disc. Can't do that with a digital version.

 

What does that have to do with my point?

 

The disc is more than just proof you own the game. I'm trying to give @tunaphis some hope. At the very least the disc can be sold to get some money back.

 

I downloaded this and gave it a try over the weekend. Looked good but I just could not come to grips with the handling. Deleted it after a couple hours of trying and failing to figure it out. I'm guessing this plays better on a steering wheel rather than an XBox controller.

 

It's not though, no matter what new game it is you are going to have a decent sized download the first time you start it up. Being able to re-sell the game really doesn't help much if you are saddled with poor internet since you won't recoup the entire cost.
